http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/08/01/this-issues-print-headlines-august-special-edition-2015/#commentsSun, 02 Aug 2015 02:47:43 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=67356The third of many print editions running every other week is now on stands, and once again, this one is full of amazing articles you won't read anywhere else...not just because mainstream media outlets are shutting down all over, but because there are some things they just don't touch, and what they do, there are aspects that they just don't tell.

Kinda like several of our front page articles.

Without keeping you wading through a whole bunch of preamble, we're going to just jump right into what Print Headlines are: A preview of what's in the current print edition, presented in sections (Front Page, Back Page [our second front page], Pages 2 & 3, Features if there are any (generally running on page 12 or 13 or both, as in this issue), Egypt, Heartland and Central, and then Op-Ed.) They are presented by dateline first (where the material in the article took place), headline with link to the e-Edition version, and a brief synopsis in our own snarky Disclosure style. The headline links will take you right to the article on the e-Edition page if you're an online member; if you're not, they'll take you to the sign-up page, where you can get either a full month's access for $5.99 (a real bargain, as we're doing a new issue every other week right now!) or a 24-hour pass for only $2.99 (be sure you follow the instructions explicitly so you don't experience the glitch that sometimes hits new subscribers). And now, without further ado...here are THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES.

FRONT PAGE

SALINE/JOHNSON COs.--Missing girl found, man charged with sex offenses: How did a guy from Missouri hook up with a 12-year-old in Harrisburg, then come to allegedly have sex with her in the Shawnee National Forest? This is one of those articles that shows you can't be too careful with monitoring your kids...and you certainly shouldn't be.

LAWRENCE CO.--Inmate sues prison personnel: Have people been rather tense out at Lawrence Correctional Center outside of Sumner the past few years...? You betcha, and this would be the reason why. While everybody else in the state was hoping this would just blow over, on July 7, it did not...and we have the full story right here.

Deeboy, disparaged deputy

EDGAR CO.--Deputy bankrupt: We're not telling you something about Dee Burgin you don't already know if we're meaning "morally" bankrupt. But we're not; we're meaning financially bankrupt. Which isn't that unusual of a thing these days; a lot of us have suffered a bankruptcy, and might someday again. But the "lot of us" I'm talking about aren't public officials entrusted to give it their all for the public paychecks taken by force of threat from the rest of us private sector dweebs. And we expect those who receive public paychecks to be a little more responsible with what's being taken from us...and when they're not, it makes it to the front page.

Gerald Foster

RICHLAND CO.--IEPA onto Foster: The article we held since early June when the case was filed, hoping to see how it was going to shake out; the Illinois Attorney General is AGAIN getting onto Gerald Foster, and their "getting onto him" seems to coincide with a recent arrest. So this begs the question: Is David Hyde pushing Foster off onto the IAG to be dealt with financially instead of forcing his DUIs through the system..? Because he's still got that one languishing since 2007. And no, we're not writing about any other supposed junkyard Foster has; we're only mentioning the ones the IAG has mentioned, because that's what's in court docs, for those who were wondering.

SALINE CO.--A night for Danton: Photo coverage of the event from this past Sunday in Harrisburg, wherein police chief Whipper Johnson helped raise money for a local autistic boy.

BACK PAGE

CLAY/MARION COs.--Chief's son's party makes waves: After a crazy, 80-plus-something-comment thread was pulled from our Facebook page back in early July (and no, we didn't pull it; it appeared when we were in delivery and we simply let it go until it got out of control and someone involved in it complained enough to have Fecesbook pull it), our interest was piqued as to what actually happened at Flora Police Chief John Nicholson's kid's party out in rural Marion County back in June. We researched it, and this is what we found out.

WILLIAMSON CO.--Fosse out of county process-serving job: Much speculation surrounding the reason why Jim Fosse no longer works for the Williamson County Sheriff's Office as a process server; we researched this one, and while many simply won't believe it (because, you know...Marion. There HAS to be something corrupt and underhanded going on, right?), this is what we learned. If it changes in the future, we'll report it. But for now, this is all there is to know, according to officials.

LAWRENCE CO.--Youngster sues Lawrence County sheriff after arrest and alleged illegal detention: Here's one that's going to slip right through the cracks in the floor that's barely supporting local mainstream media, just like the one about the prison. Because, you know...they can't produce anything bad about the hand that feeds. And as much as we try to get along with the local constabulary in Lawrence - and we do get along with them - we have to write about this kind of stuff when it comes up.

PAGE 2

SALINE CO.-Messed-up misdemeanors this month in Saline: We opted to put the big Saline County misdemeanor report on page 2 because...why would a woman let her barely-two-year-old, just-walking child get out into the intersection of Poplar Street on a main drag through Harrisburg? We don't have the answer to that, but it makes for an interesting piece, as do the rest of the misdemeanors compiled into one article. Enjoy our newest feature in the every-other-week offerings.

PAGE 3

RICHLAND CO.--Olney man sues popular restaurant for 'unhealthful food' after strange experience: We say it in the article - This guy, like a dozen hundred other people in the 618, probably didn't know that you can't eat shrimp tails, and that when you order shrimp, especially in a Mexican dish, you need to make sure they're pulled off the little shrimp bodies in the meal, otherwise, you could choke on them and they'll cut up your throat. Now, after this lawsuit, it's a pretty sure bet EVERY Mexican restaurant in the 618 will have to carry a "CAUTION - Shrimp tails" warning...although there's no indication whatsoever in the lawsuit that that's what dude swallowed that cut up his esophagus. In fact, he never says, in the suit, what it is that DID. Which leads us to guess: Shrimp tails. We'll see; somebody will be calling us whining about it; that's more than a pretty sure bet.

HARDIN CO.--Defunct Reed's locations targeted by IAG--More gas tank woes, these in Hardin County: And the headline says it all. Bottom line is: The state's hard up for money, so they're going after any and every body they can, and telling people they're going to sue them for $25,000 or $50,000 per violation...and settling for a few measly thousand each so they can make next week's payroll. In the meantime, the little guy suffers. Way to go, Illinois.

SALINE CO.--Rosiclare man jailed after threatening to carve up attorney: Was it all an act? Or does this guy have an organic or a drug-induced problem in his brain? Whatever the case, it'd be a funny situation if it weren't so...well, dangerous and creepy. Read it to see what we're talking about.

WABASH CO.--Mt. Carmel thief charged with beating six-year-old: While most prosecutors in downstate can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that when a child repeatedly says she's being beaten, that means she's being beaten, they apparently don't have that issue in Wabash: Cassandra Goldman charges a guy for striking a 6-year-old with a clothes hanger.

RICHLAND CO.--Meltdown leads to trashed police cruiser: This guy. Man, when we get a new prosecutor in Richland and this guy goes off the deep end again, he's not gonna get out unscathed...simply because it's going to be "not David Hyde" prosecuting.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (Letters): Doesn't like duly-appointed commissioner in Mt. Carmel; wondering about that 'murdering' gun in Carbondale; wants more info on Bobby Downen matter.

BACK OVER YOUR TALES: From the pages of the August Special Edition 2010 - Todd Fort is arrested and charged with child sex abuse; the Earp/Trout bunch cause trouble in Olney; Raymond Martin's federal jury trial is moving closer to kickoff; a pastor in a relatively-new church in Lawrenceville and his wife are busted for dope; Old Shawneetown Street Rally is featured; lots and lots and lots more.

Remember...an issue every other week at least until September...Those who are print subscribers are getting a bonus...those who have an online membership for $5.99 a month are also getting a bonus...so sign up today and get BONUSED!

MT. CARMEL, Ill.--Former city official and decades-long Mt. Carmel businessman Merle Weems died at his home Thursday, July 30, 2015.

Weems was 75 years old.

While Weems was actually born up in Marion County (Iuka, Illinois) and graduated from high school in Salem, he settled in mt. Carmel and was very active in business there, operating Weems' Shoe Shanty for years, as well as operating Weems Family Restaurant.

He was a city commissioner and, in more recent years, a city administrator, as well as served with the Wabash County Merchants Association and was active with the Chamber of Commerce.

Visitation is scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday, August 2) at Short Funeral Home at 527 N. Mulberry St., Mt. Carmel, from 2 to 6 p.m. Funeral services will be at Short on Monday at 10 a.m. with burial to follow at Highland Memorial Cemetery on College Drive.

WABASH CO., Ill.--Wabash County Sheriff Derek Morgan has issued information regarding weekend arrests in his county in southeastern Illinois.

On July 24, 2015 Wabash County Sheriff's deputies arrested Amanda D. Ewald, 34, of Mt. Carmel, at her residence for an outstanding warrant. Ewald posted a $200 cash bond and was released.

On the same day, deputies arrested Trevor Hammond, 19, of Evansville. Hammond was taken into custody at the fairgrounds for an outstanding warrant. Hammond also posted a $200 cash bond to secure his release.

Later in the evening at approximately 9:23 p.m. deputies performed a traffic stop after an anonymous tip came in about a wanted person. The stop took place on Highway 1, just north of Patton. This stop resulted in the arrest of Austin T. Wiggins, 31, of Mt. Carmel for an outstanding Lawrence County warrant. A passenger in the vehicle, Clayton S. Kirkman, 29, of Mt. Carmel was arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of Hypodermic Needles/Syringes, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

On July 25, Becky Roser, 45, of Mt. Carmel was arrested on an outstanding Wabash County warrant. Roser is awaiting the posting of $500 cash bond. Additionally on that same day (Saturday) Josecito Corchado Vera, 41, of Chatsworth, Ga., was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for urinating in the front yard of a residence in the 400 block of Chestnut St. in Mt. Carmel.

On Sunday, July 26, 18-year-old Jacob H. Ahlfield, of Olney, was charged with illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor, when he was found by deputies stuck (his vehicle) in the roadway on N 2150 Blvd., in the Lancaster area. Ahlfield was taken to the Wabash County Jail were he was processed and released to a parent.

http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/27/mt-carmel-thief-charged-with-beating-six-year-old/#commentsTue, 28 Jul 2015 01:20:53 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=67290WABASH CO.— While allegations of child abuse go uncharged in several southern Illinois counties, a Mt. Carmel felon with a history of thievery has been charged with beating a child.

Formal charges filed in the case allege that on June 7 David M. Onyett, 31, of the 1300 block of College Dr., Mt. Carmel, caused bodily harm to a child age 6 when he struck the child on the left side of the face.

Children are routinely abused in Lawrence, Richland and Edwards with little or nothing being done by the authorities who are made aware of the situation.

However, Wabash County State’s Attorney Cassandra Goldman has charged Onyett with one count of felony Aggravated Battery of a Child.

Onyett’s criminal history spans several years in Wabash.

He was sentenced to probation for two years August 20, 2001 after being convicted of Theft.

That conviction also left him $985 short of funds after fines and fees.

He was then arrested May 27, 2003 and charged with Residential Burglary and felony Theft.

In a plea agreement July 14, 2003, in which he pleaded guilty to the theft charge, he was sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for three years.

That brain cramp cost the thief $380 in fines and fees.

What with day-for-day good time and the like, Onyett was back on the streets for a short time before he was convicted July 26, 2005 of Burglary and Theft and sentenced to another four years IDOC.

That one cost him $653 in fines and fees.

And as the rotating convict program continued Onyett was out of prison with just enough time to be convicted August 21, 2007 of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol for which he was sentenced to conditional discharge for one year and ordered to undergo alcohol treatment.

And that particular bender cost him another $1,566 in fines and fees.

Onyett was released from police custody July 14 after posting a $500 cash bond.

Conditions of that bond include that he have no contact with anyone under 18 years of age.

http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/27/smelling-of-alcohol-gets-three-charged-with-dui/#commentsTue, 28 Jul 2015 01:12:33 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=67097WABASH CO.— Three individuals have been charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol in Wabash this issue. Two confessed their apparent intoxication while a third merely performed poorly, as did the other two, on a field sobriety test.

The first to be nabbed by local lawmen was 39-year-old Matthew S. Hering, of the 200 block of North Persimmon St., Belmont.

Authorities say Hering was stopped as he was traveling westbound on Railroad Street at Persimmon Street riding a yellow Honda four-wheeler at 8:44 p.m. July 8.

According to the officer who executed the stop, after a bit of a chase, Hering smelled of alcohol and apparently for good reason because he allegedly told the officer that he had “been drinking all day.”

With that tidbit of information it is not surprising that Mr. Hering is said to have done, well… poorly on a field sobriety test.

About the only intelligent move reported on the part of Mr. Hering that night was that he refused to submit to a breathalyzer.

Of course that automatically earned him a 12-month suspension of his driver’s license, which had been revoked from a previous infraction.

In addition to being charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Hering was also cited for Driving Revoked, Fleeing/Attempting to Elude and Operating an ATV on a Public Roadway.

Hering was released from police custody July 10 after posting a $300 cash bond.

Green car swerving

The second alleged perp in this issue’s DUI lineup is Harrison E. Copp.

Copp is 26 years of age and come to Illinois from 303 South 13th St., Vincennes, Ind.

Copp is said to have been driving a 1999 green Chevy passenger car July 12 at 12:50 a.m. when he was the subject of a traffic stop at Cherry Street and Poor Farm Road in Mt. Carmel.

Copp is said to have swerved his green car over the centerline and into the wrong lane.

That would have been the thing that caught the attention of authorities.

While the officer was questioning Copp about the apparent necessity to drive in the wrong lane, the officer said he detected the odor of alcohol.

That, added with what was described as slurred speech, a poor performance on a field sobriety test and a .15 score on the breathalyzer, lead to the Hoosier being taken into custody and charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Unlawful Transportation of Alcohol by a Driver and Operating an Uninsured Motor Vehicle.

Copp was released from police custody July 13 after posting a $300 cash bond.

On his bond sheet he listed 16 West Eberwine St., Vincennes as his address.

The highest breathalyzer score goes to…

And last but not least, the highest score on a breathalyzer this publication has seen in some time goes to Charles G. Staser who was already out on bond for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol at the time of his July 17 arrest for… Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.

Staser is a 51-year-old who hails from the 700 block of West Sixth St., Mt. Carmel.

In the early morning hours of July 17 Staser is said to have been driving a 1994 blue GMC SUV in the 600 block of Ash Street when he came to the attention of authorities after he is said to have swerved into the oncoming lane followed with executing a wide turn and driving in the wrong lane.

When the officer who executed the traffic stop spoke with Mr. Staser he said he noticed an odor consistent with an alcoholic beverage on his breath.

When asked about this Staser told the officer he had been consuming beer.

The officer also noted that Staser’s speech was slurred and he displayed poor balance during the field sobriety test.

And blowing a .263 on a breathalyzer could very well account for that.

Anything over .08 is considered too intoxicated to drive in the state of Illinois.

Court records indicate that Staser was out on bond from a July 5 DUI arrest.

A warrant had been issued today (July 21) for James T. Bobbitt, 42, of Allendale. Morgan reports that this was regarding an upgraded charge of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals, stemming from an incident on July 18 where a dog was found deceased in a residence in Allendale.

Two other dogs were surrendered by Bobbitt, with one of the two being euthanized.

Bobbitt was arrested during a traffic stop in rural Wabash County. Morgan reports that Bobbitt has since posted a $500 cash bond. Aggravated Cruelty is a Class 4 felony.

On Friday, July 17, at approximately 5:45 p.m. a traffic stop in Allendale by the Wabash County Sheriff's Office resulted in the arrest 31-year-old Cameron W. Jones, Mt. Carmel, and 40-year-old John P. Davis of Allendale. Jones was arrested for operating a vehicle while registration suspended. Davis was charged with obstructing identification, in addition to his two outstanding warrants, one in Wabash County, and one in Lawrence County. Both were transported to the Wabash County Jail, where Jones posted a $300 cash bond; Davis is currently being held on a total bond of $1,875.

On Saturday, July 18, the Wabash County Sheriff's Office responded to a dog-running-at-large complaint in the Allendale area. The incident ended with James T. Bobbitt, 42, of Allendale being charged with Animal Cruelty. During the investigation it was found that a dog had died inside the residence, which had no running water, or electricity, nor did the residence have food for the animals. The deceased dog had signs that the other two dogs had been eating on it, due to the absence of food. The two living dogs were surrendered to the Wabash County Animal Shelter. One of the animals had to be euthanized, due to its history of being aggressive and biting.

And on Sunday, July 19, at 1:20 a.m. the Sheriff's Office responded to the Lick Prairie area on Wabash 17 Ave. due to a one-vehicle crash. The vehicle was found abandoned and in the ditch. During the investigation, Richard Leon Shoemaker was found in another vehicle that was coming back to the crash scene. Shoemaker, 20, of Mt. Carmel, was charged with illegal consumption of alcohol, processed at the Wabash County Jail and released. The investigation into this crash is still ongoing.

We're not as exhausted as we thought we would be, nobody on staff has killed or maimed anyone, and the news...well, the news keeps pouring in and filling up the pages. We should've done this a long time ago.

Now the question is...will we keep it up? And if so, for how long? Right now, it's looking like we're going to do this until at least the end of August. Beyond that, we might go back to a three-weeker every once in awhile, even while on vacation. With all the newspaper offices shuttering all around us, and reports that the ones that are continuing to publish are "too expensive for what they are" and they "don't have anything in them," who knows...? Weekly isn't out of the realm of possibility. We've done it before, in a previous life; it can be done again.

In the meantime...here's this awesome issue; we worked hard, put it together in a matter of days, actually. Not as typo-filled as the July Special Edition, so you won't have fun picking them all out...but boy the articles. These are great, you're going to enjoy them. Print headlines are given to you in order of section (Page 1, Back Page - which is our second front page - Pages 2 and 3, Features if there are any, Egypt, Heartland and Central, and finally Op-Ed). They are presented by dateline (the county or city of the coverage area where the material in the article is from), headline (which links to the e-Edition article), and then a brief synopsis of the material covered, done in our own snarky Disclosure style. And now, we present to you...THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES!

PAGE 1

EDWARDS CO.--Massive bond set for alleged dope mover: The follow-up to the arrest we covered here a couple of weeks ago of accuse meth-mover Brad Beehn...with a little extra. There's some stuff in this article that we've known as made privy to us YEARS ago and have never brought out...now, it's time, and it's pertinent. And believe me when we tell you...there's more. Be watching as this unfolds...especially if Beehn lawyers up and wants to make a big defense.

Kyle Eichorn, moron

SALINE CO.--ENTERS PLEA: Home-grown Hardin County punk Kyle Eichorn is now a convicted felon at age 19. We're pretty sure, in his hubris, arrogance and sheer ignorance, that this doesn't impact him one its, since it's not HIS $20,000 that's going toward his fines and fees...it's likely yours, mine and ours. How does that work? Read this article and see.

Joshua Eugene Millman.EUGENE??!?

CLAY CO.--Meth kingpin caught in second county: Josh Millman, looking closer to 57 than 37, has been busted again, this time in Clay County...where it's likely he's not going to get any more slack cut than his buddy Beehn will be in Edwards. Boys, boys...you shoulda stayed in Richland, where the prosecutors only pretend they're doing something about you. Maybe now the feds will get involved.

HARDIN CO.--The wall came crumbling down: Collapse of the wall surrounding the big hill that once held the old Downey law building...kinda leads into the whole page 8 story about the big pill bust in Hardin.

David Hyde. And his chins. None of whom have done their jobs in Richland County.

RICHLAND CO.--Is he going? That's what everybody in Richland County seems to be asking, as we'd learned about two weeks ago that it was Richland County prosecutor David Hyde's intention to resign from his office. We caught up with some public officials, and in this article is what they had to say about it.

BACK PAGE

SALINE CO.--Shooting accident leaves bitter recrimination: The shooting accident involving Nathan Hill that happened a week before deadline is featured here for our print readers; and online readers might want to read it, too, since it does contain material not featured online...as is our practice here.

Mychal Bush-King, Clay County Sheriff's Office mugshot

CLAY CO--Bush-King enters quiet plea in very public child porn case: For all the griping Mychal Bush-King's buttlickers did when he was first arrested, there sure isn't a PEEP out of anyone about his guilty plea to both county as charged. I guess now that he's going to be a registered sex offender (which many believe should have happened YEARS ago, but I guess it's a good thing it happened after he reached majority age, otherwise the general public might never have been alerted to him) nobody really wants to associate with him...?

GALLATIN CO.--Eldorado pair part of Gallatin drug pinch: Quite a few people were wondering what was going on with this dope bust. It's an interesting trio, to say the least, with crossover crims from Saline County in the mix.

SALINE CO.--Sex predator charged with grabbing local cashier: Well now here you have the mentality of a sex predator. It's not bad enough that he's out and about and trying to assimilate into society...he has to go allegedly groping. I mean, seriously.

CRAWFORD CO.--So what is the big deal about Adam Livvix? He's not got ANY active cases save the one in Crawford...and he's not got much of a record anywhere else except to have been charged (most were dismissed). So why is he being dumped back in OUR laps in Robinson?

CENTRAL

EDWARDS CO.--Albion man charged after girlfriend says he bit her face: Typical abusive man in a relationship...it goes on and on and on and on and then when the girl finally goes for an OP, you read all this stuff and you think, shouldn't you have left like about 15 incidents ago...?

Darrell Newman

CLAY CO.--Rinard man makes repeat appearance: Ordinarily, Darrell Newman is the one on the giving end when it comes to criminal activity. In this piece, however, he's definitely on the receiving end. Doesn't mean he's not giving a repeat appearance...just in a different capacity.

LAWRENCE CO.--Major meth bust in Sumner: Coverage of the bust that nabbed the Georges, Grove and Ahlfield, and which, when looking at the former's mugshot, begs the question: Is it trendy for dopers to be looking like they need to be wearing a turban these days?

HAMILTON CO.--Teens face $10,000 cash bond in wake of recent burglaries: They say in some of our downstate counties that "the kids don't have nuthin to do. Thet's why they awl git in trubble." Except that there's some kind of teen center in McLeansboro. So under this circumstance, that's not a viable excuse.

BACK OVER YOUR TALES: From the July 2010 edition of DisclosureHaven Kirkpatrick is charged in sex case in Wayne County, Lil Nate Turrentine aka Paint-strip Boy is charged in a mob beating over dope; former ISP trooper Steve Poe arrested intoxicated; Lawrence County sheriff's race; information on the confidential sources who busted Raymond Martin; Roger Hutchison busted in Saline; Tyler Roberts, hotshot sports star in Mt. Carmel, charged in theft; Bridgeport paper swan song signaled by purchase by a chain; the death of Matthew Gene Howard in Raleigh is covered; Winifred Moss driving Nathan Lawrence's car gets it forfeited; a big gun rally is held in Fairfield; Richland County considers pseudoephedrine ban to address ongoing dope problems instead of insisting that prosecutor David Hyde simply follow through with charges instead of letting them all drop; Brian Lewis of Louisville, former employee of Channel Bio seed company, explains how he got in trouble with the feds; Shannon Burton enters a plea to child sex abuse; tragedy at Peabody's Willow Lake Mine; 13-year-old tart takes off with Willow Hill moron, gets reported as abducted; badge bunny Brittany Lane has OP filed against her by an ex; Terry Burdin opens fresh food store in Grayville; Mike Melendez at the heart of a big drug sweep in White County; Pulaski County sheriff Randy Kern aka "The Boob Bandit" activities are examined.

Armstrong was also sentenced in Wabash County on the same kind of charge, this in late 2014, for crimes there during the same time period in 2011.

The sentencing was part of a plea; for his cooperation, and since he was already sitting in DOC, Armstrong got only 30 months DOC to be followed by one year of mandatory supervised release (parole). He was also ordered to pay costs and restitution in the amount of $10,317, nothing of which has been paid.

Interestingly, the amount of unpaid fines and fees in the Wabash case is a phenomenal $20,417.

Carmel convicted felon has been charged with Disorderly Conduct after authorities say he was caught peeing at the wrong time in the wrong place.

Authorities say that on June 30, Christopher E. Allen, 54, of the 500 block of North Market St., Mt. Carmel, while at his home, urinated on a concrete planter in such a manner as to alarm and disturb Melissa Stephenson.

It’s unclear what was so alarming and disturbing about the urination; it could’ve been the volume; it could’ve been the flow. Whatever the case, it was enough to p!ss in Ms. Stephenson’s cheerios, despite it being at his own home.

Allen is a convicted felon having been found guilty of Forgery November 13, 2006 for which he was sentenced to probation for two years, one month in the county jail and ordered to pay $2,460 in fines and fees, of which he still owes $922.62.
